Sophie's Birthday Party

Yesterday, we had a party to celebrate Sophie's fist birthday! It has been raining all week and was supposed to rain all day yesterday too. We had planned a BBQ so rain would not have been good. It rained all morning and afternoon and I prayed for the sun to come out the whole time I was getting things ready! 5 o'clock rolled around and out came the SUN! God is good! At 10pm it started raining again! We had about 35 people here, lots of friends and family. Patrick BBQed hamburgers, hot dogs and sausages. I had made potato salad and couscous salad as well as lots of fresh fruit and veggies. Everyone seemed to have a great time. I don't think Sophie really understood what was going on but had a great time visiting with all the people! She was really interested in the flame of the candle on her cake and kept trying to grab it instead of blowing it out! She had no interest in presents and enjoyed playing in the dirt way more!
